Rico you are correct....RU is a Laker fan who gets it.....can discuss things intelligently....understands both sides of issues...never flames......posts are always welcome.....just to let you know....this classy fan is a 21 year old young lady who lives in Australia and is definitely a student of the game....she sure knows her stuff!!!

Johnny probably would......but in reality.....these are the best two franchises in league history, each claiming greatness and absolutely deserving.....I'm a Celtic fan....but I can't take anything away from the Lakers...it's not the Lakers that I really hate...I admire them (except Kobe for several reasons I won't get into)...no I don't really hate the Lakers....I hate the Laker trolls....the good ones like Worthy and jofc....they know their stuff, are respectful and articulate.....I could sit down and watch a Boston/LA game with those folks....and there are many others....many of my friends in fact...still some of my friends can really tick me off when they start "trolling" just to get under my skin!!

DukeI have more respect for the Yankees than the Lakers. The Yankess taught the Red Sox what was necessary to win. Just like the Celtics showed the Pistons what was necessary to win in the 80s. That relationship doesn't hold up with the Celtics-Lakers rivalry. We are the Lakers' historical daddy. We need to focus on destroying them and the also destroying the morale of their lame fans who post here. It seems there are more critics than fans nowadays. They should move to LA or go watch hockey if they can't find something good to say about the Celts. BDC is the propaganda aspect of the war. Hitler said he lost because the US-Brit propaganda was superior to Goebbels. Yield nothing. Green is the color of pride.

He should no longer be under review Rico is a Laker troll. He is so sloppy and stupid about what he says it is clearly a joke the young trolls find hilarious.

There is no doubt he is not at a Celtic fan of that you can be sure. Who he is with all the aliases these children have can't be determined? As Fierce said who picks an icon of Rick Pitino and Liberace or whoever it is now. The guy makes no sense and clearly isn't trying. Rico's loyalty is to his troll friends who think they put something over on us.

I get where you are coming from my friend....of course green is the only color when it comes to the NBA.....and with that said....nice to see Satch Sanders is now in the hall....a scholarly gentleman and one helluva defender.....here's to you Satch...or as he would say...here's to you baby!

I think it can be argued that the Celtics did teach the Lakers how to win a championship. Not just a championship but multiple titles.

Sharman was the coach of the '71 Championship team. The loss in 1984 lit a fire under the team and enabled our success in 1985 and the 87-88 back to back seasons. Could even say the same thing about our loss in 2008.

A loss we have to have is fine if we or any team learns from it. This applies to life as well. Setbacks can be one of the good ways to learn and improve. Magic certainly learned from '84.

Back in the day the Celtics were truly unbeatable because of Russell. Coming second to a Russell Celtics squad is no disgrace as far as I'm concerned. Hard for the players but looking back it's still an accomplishment to push champion side to the limit.

When Wilt changed his game and took a more intergrated role is the biggest step for the lakers to win thier 1st in the modern era. Then the trade for Kareem and drafting Magic took them to the next level. Shaq and Kobe were to much for teams to overcome with the best inside out game at the time. Then Pau Kobe Lamar and Bynum kept the tradition going.

Most difficult part for Celtics fand is the what if's of the late 80s and early 90s. Reggie and Len were to be our transition from the Bird era. Then ML and Pitino put us in a tail spin.

RU....I liked that profile post you had up for a short period....kind of nice being able to place a face with a poster....I should figure out how to put mine on....I'm not the most computer savvy....anyway, nice having you back....I hope jofc hasn't really been banned...you two are great Lakers posters in my opinion!

Pat's cool. Wish Andrew Bogut played for a better team. His injury last year set him back IMO, nasty way to get injured as well. Lauren Jackson is my favourite Australian basketball player. She can do everything on the court, complete player from such a young age.

Thanks Duke. Was up in between my Worthy avatars. Was one of my Facebook profile pictures. Been busy, lot's of work with Uni, plus I've started an internship so life's really busy at the moment.

oh my gosh LJ doesn't get nearly enough media attention for what she has achieved. she's the jordan of women's basketball

the bogut-led milwaukee was the one team I was worried about last playoffs until he went down. he's still on track to lead the league in blocks this season, though.
